jcoll - jcoll

Jcoll started as an effort to support experience exchange and collaboration between StarOffice-users in Swedish schools (http://utbtet.skolutveckling.se) and could be described as an easy to use projectspace. The use of jcoll has expanded to other forms of collaboration both national with the national program for soft infrastructure - http://mjukis.skolutveckling.se and international within the Nordic Councils grant programs for collaboration between schools in the Nordic region - http://www.nordskol.org/nsn/start.jsp?vp=Z. Jcolls design is component-based in order to provide a flexibel way to facilitate different needs within collaborative settings i.e. experience exchange, project work. Jcoll uses several open standards such as RSS for newsfeeds, iCal for calanderinformation etc.
